Antique Chinese - Textile Flat Weave Rug, Circa Date: 1875. This exquisite late Qing Dynasty textile is more accurately described as a silk embroidery panel, representing a highly specialized category within antique rugs and textiles. The vertical format features two central figures, likely Immortals or figures associated with longevity and prosperity, rendered with remarkable detail. The ground color is a rich, warm tan or camel hue, providing a luminous backdrop for the figures. The embroidery utilizes fine silk threads in a sophisticated palette of soft blues, muted reds, and various shades of ivory and beige, highlighting the intricate patterns of the robes and accessories. The flat weave base allows the detailed needlework to stand out sharply. Iconographically rich, the panel depicts traditional Chinese symbolism.
